Archive for the ‘Summer at Bearskin 2009’ Category

Almost everyone who visits the Gunflint Trail shares one goal: they want to see a moose. A bear or wolf sighting merits a mention, but a moose sighting makes an exciting story, especially if the moose is relatively close.

I'm looking out the window at an absolutely gorgeous day. Clear blue skies with the tiniest white fluffs of clouds; loons on the lake; fresh young leaves on the birches that give the trees the appearance of being vivid green puffballs from afar. Cool nights have meant that we continue to be fairly bug-free. Fishing is still good. Summer has the potential to be wonderful.

It's very quiet now (which means it's a great time to visit!), but we're gearing up for the active summer season. Our seasonal staff is gradually arriving, so it's starting to feel busier.
